I say it all the time to the people whom I would regret never having had the opportunity to do so if they were no longer with me. Multiple times each day to my wife and daughters. And we mean it. It is not a performative guesture.

Same.
I do say it to people too. My folks. My friends. Often. But I show them with my actions too. More so than with words. I’m very devoted to those that are close to me.

Imagine being a son or daughter growing up and your Dad never told you he loved you. How sad.
I tell my wife and kids every day that I love them, with both my words and my actions. They need and want to hear it and see it, and we are a very affectionate family with words and lots of hugs. |

That may be how you feel, but I don’t say it lightly, like I’m saying, “pass the butter”. Words are powerful, and important. So, Yes, I say it to family, and even close friends. I say it to my husband, daily, and not just before bed. I like to remind him, of it, out of the blue, when he least expects it. It makes him smile. Life is short. Express yourself.

I could probably count on one hand the number of times I heard that from my dad. My kids hear it from me everyday, several times.

My daughter & I say it to each other daily. My parents are long gone; I never doubted my mom’s love for me but did my dad’s. He never told me he loved me. This gutted me when he died. He was an alcoholic my whole life and I assumed he loved the bottle more than me. Over time, I realized his way of asking about my car before a trip or bringing up other (what I thought were) mundane issues was “his” way of showing concern, respect, and love. As far as friends go, the first time one told me they “appreciated me” I felt honored and began saying that to my close friends as well.
I tease my brothers often because our hugs with each other are short but always involve a pat….pat…pat 3x’s with one hand on the other’s back. None have said they love me, but I know each of the 3 would give the shirt off their back and do ANYTHING to help me when in need. Being female, it’s easier for whatever reason, to tell my 2 sisters. So, there’s a long winded answer for ya! Lol. |

I say it everytime I speak to my wife, my parents, and my siblings. I take nothing for granted and am a firm believer of always expressing what you feel in the most positive way possible.

If it's someone I love, it's the last thing they hear when we part ways in person or on the phone...mother, brother, wife doesn't matter. Tomorrow isn't promised.

Actual conversation this morning with dad:
Please pass the cream. Love you. Hear ya go. Sugar? Love you. Sure, thanks. Love you. What do I win? 😁 I say it to my wife often. My parents don’t ever say it, but I squeezed it out of them by initiating it as we were leaving sometime recently.

I say it o my wife, son and daughter multiple times a day.
To my parents at the end of our conversations. Oddly almost never to my bother although he’s definitely deserving. To my dog more than anyone else. To my cat never. |

I think it weirds my in-laws out too. I still say it to them though. Every once in a while I get it back in almost a whisper from my MIL during a hug. I consider that a win since I’ve rarely heard them say it to their own children in 10 yrs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My dog will have separation anxiety if I do not kiss him on the head and tell him I love him, to be a good boy and I will see him when I get home before I leave the house. I’ve literally watched the difference on camera. It is amazing to me how those three words have an innate way of providing comfort, even across species. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Saying “I love you”
Just for clarity and a slight view into my own life. This thread was started because I said “I love you brother” to one of my best friends while giving him a big hug in public.
I realized it was met with some odd looks from those around us (that didn’t know us). Then I started thinking about how some in my life I have never heard say it. Is it a stigma that you’re less of a man if you show emotion? Is it a byproduct of how you were raised? Is it a societal issue that is based of stigma and societal pressure being aware you’re always being judged? Is it cultural? I still have so many questions. The one thing I have learned from my own experience is, after I had experienced real trauma and emotions and realized how to process those emotions and move forward I became more open to sharing any emotion.

It's actually very common parlance in the biker community. Strong men form strong bonds.
